Let's have a "get to know you" thread! :)

I know it can be challenging and sometimes a little monotonous being a SAHM, so I thought it might be fun if we got to know all the other SAHMs out there! (And, also get a chance to talk about ourselves...which we know rarely happens! :) )

1. What is your name?2. How many LOs do you have? How old? Names?3. What state or country do you live in?4. Marital status? How long have you and your SO been together?5. What's your favorite thing to do that is just for you?6. What is your favorite thing to do as a family?7. What is the most unique thing about yourself?8. If you could change anything about yourself, physical or personality-wise, what would it be?

I will answer mine in the next post. Feel free to add more or not answer any you don't feel comfortable answering! :)

I am Lesley,i have one daughter called Cathrin (nicknamed Cece) who will be 3 in December. We currently live in San Jose, CA although i am British and grew up in the UK. We have been in the USA for 4 years now, San JOse 12 months and i love life here. I have been with hubby for almost 13 years and married nearly 7, we met working in a bar whilst at Uni. My favorite things for me, is sitting down relaxing with a glass of wine, and also going to the gym or out for a run as it gives me brain down time.My favorite family thing, is just hanging out together, we spend every weekend doing stuff together, even if its only grocery shopping i just love us all being together.Sad i know but i can't really think of anything that makes me unique lol. I used to do Muaythai boxing and 2 fights but i guess thats the closest ii can think of.I think if i could change anything about myself it would be the amount i worry, ( i worry about everything even if its not even happened or a possibility yet) i think i have a bit of a negative undertone to me and would love that to change for the positive.

thought of a question 9. Whatis the think/trait you like about yourself the most? for me it is how friendly i am, i have always found it easy to make friends as i am pretty outgoing and relaxed about things, which tends to come across well.

looking forward to hearing from others.

Les

HeyGreat idea.

1. What is your name? Stacy2. How many LOs do you have? How old? Names? 1, 22 months, Nora3. What state or country do you live in? Michigan4. Marital status? How long have you and your SO been together? Married, we have been together for just over 3 years and married on the day of our 1 year anneversary5. What's your favorite thing to do that is just for you? I am a student of social work.Â I wouldnt say that i enjoy it very much, but i enjoy the quiet time that i get when i lock myself in my office to do my homework and study.Â yes, i'm working, but its QUIET!!!Â ;)6. What is your favorite thing to do as a family? We travel a bit, one of our favorite places it visit is in northern MI and we do it several times per year.Â Those trips are great for us because we are away from all other distractions which keep us busy and otherwise engaged when at home.7. What is the most unique thing about yourself?Â wow, this is a hard one to answer, i'm not sure what is unique about me.Â I'll have to think about this one.8. If you could change anything about yourself, physical or personality-wise, what would it be?Â I would be less sarcastic.Â I am often misunderstood because of my lack of filter.Â i say things sometimes just to be funny, but alot of times (when talking to people online), its not taken at all the way that i mean that.Â i'm going to try very hard to filter myself here and loose the sarcastic "tone in my voice" when talking with you ladies, lol.

What a great idea!

Whatis the think/trait you like about yourself the most? I would say that i'm a pretty darn good wife and mom. i pride myself on taking good care of my family and my home, and have become a pretty good (self taught) cook, where as when my daughter was born and i became a stay at home mom, i had no idea how to even cook mac and cheese!

great addition question!

Hi Kristen! I love your answers! You sound like you have a lot of energy and spunk! :) I love being able to shower and shave, too; makes me feel normal and feminine, especially after being covered in boogers and spit up all day. That's why I make it a point to wear makeup and at least attempt to do my hair. LOL. Nice to meet you! :)

I'm enjoying reading these.1. What is your name? *Nicole2. How many LOs do you have? *Two. How old? Names? *Boy age 4, girl age 10 months3. What state or country do you live in? *MS4. Marital status? *Married for 6 years. How long have you and your SO been together? *Going on 11 years in January. 5. What's your favorite thing to do that is just for you? *I don't do much that is just for me, I guess. Shower, sing along with a favorite song.6. What is your favorite thing to do as a family? *Church, any outing, go walking7. What is the most unique thing about yourself? *Tough question. I am really good at multi-tasking. I'm told I have a good eye for taking pictures (and I like doing so). I'm very accident prone. Do any of those make me unique? Lol8. If you could change anything about yourself, physical or personality-wise, what would it be? * I would like to be seen for how I really am, because sometimes shy or quiet can be seen as stuck-up. I'm not that at all! Sometimes I say too much to fill the silence and put my foot in my mouth. Also, I worry too much. Oh, and I wish I could have kept my pregnant/breastfeeding boobs!9. I think it was what do I like about myself. *I like that out of everything I've done in my life, I can say the thing I'm best at is being a mom. I'm a darn good one! My kids know how much they are loved and can depend on me. They are my dreams come true!

1. What is your name? Amanda2. How many LOs do you have? How old? Names? 2 children, Peyton is 3 and Wyatt is 3 months3. What state or country do you live in? I'm a Canadian gal, from Ontario!4. Marital status? How long have you and your SO been together? Married, been together over 4 years, married for 25. What's your favorite thing to do that is just for you? Take a long bath with a good book6. What is your favorite thing to do as a family? DH works alot so we dedicated Sunday as our family day. We all lounge around in the morning ( I dont do any housework) and then spend the whole afternoon together doing something fun. 7. What is the most unique thing about yourself? This is a hard one! Besides my family, my passion is dance. I was a ballerina until I was PG with DD and there is nothing that makes me happier than dancing. I completely lose myself in it and it is the best way I know to express myself. 8. If you could change anything about yourself, physical or personality-wise, what would it be? I wish sometimes that people understand my personality more. I have a very sarcastic sense of humor and it sucks that people sometimes take it as nasty when it is not intended that way.

what a fun idea!

I thought this was a great idea!! I love getting to know all the people one here considering how much of our lives we share with each other! ;)

1. What is your name? Kelsey, I am 232. How many LOs do you have? How old? Names? 1 LO, he will be 11 months on the 21st and his name is BlakeA little bit about LO...He and my brother share a birthday, Dec. 21, they are born exactly 16 years apart to the minute! He is the easiest, most laid back baby ever, plop him in front of a window and he is happy for hours, he almost never cries or throws a fit. He loves to read (he will flip through his books himself) or be read to.3. What state or country do you live in?We live in Moore, Oklahoma (a suburb of Oklahoma City)... I am originally from New Orleans, LA4. Marital status? How long have you and your SO been together?I am married, hubby and I have been together for a little over 3 years but married for almost 17 months... We were planning our wedding for Oct. 10, 2010 when we found out we were expecting so we got married May 15, 2010 instead.5. What's your favorite thing to do that is just for you?I love to read, take a long bath (which never happens!), go to the movies (which also never happens), I also enjoy having relaxing in the front of the tv with hubby and a glass of wine! I also LOVE to organize, I would like to be a professional organizer.6. What is your favorite thing to do as a family?We like to spread out on the floor of our living room and read books, chase each other around the couch and make lots of noise (Blake loves his pot drums) - we are simple, it doesn't take much to entertain us when it comes to baby, plus hubby still thinks it's a hassle to take LO out.7. What is the most unique thing about yourself?I'm not really sure... It's sad, but I really don't know how to answer this.8. If you could change anything about yourself, physical or personality-wise, what would it be?Physically - I would love to lose these last 10 pounds and get my flat, pre-pregnancy tummy back!!Personality wise - I would say that I wish I was a bit more laid back and I wish I would take a bit more initiative in general, I wish I was more interesting - since I have become a SAHM I feel like my intellectual conversation abilities have vanished, I have nothing to talk about other than baby and what I cleaned today.

Something I thought about is... Tell us a bit about Hubby, we all know so much about each other and especially LO and we all mention our Hubbies/SOs but that's it...My husband's name is Anthony, he is 28. He is a government contractor for the Department of Defense; he loves anything Clint Eastwood or video game related!

Wow, I know it's a lot, apparently I like to to talk about my family and myself more than I realized! :)
